I work extensively with clients suffering from anxiety - based symptoms, such as generalized anxiety, panic disorder, social anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Individuals dealing with anxiety symptoms often do not realize how prevalent anxiety is in other people, and they tend to overestimate danger and threat in the world, while under-estimating their ability to effectively cope with it. Anxious people tend to " live in the future", often making "what if" statements about various negative future events that will likely never even occur. There are many stress management skills, including breathing techniques, visualization, thought stopping, and changing negative thoughts.

I approach clients facing issues due to anxiety and stress from existential, acceptance and commitment therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) perspectives. I employ assessments to evaluate the progress of anxiety symptoms over the course of therapy. I encourage and use mindfulness or prayer practices, CBT techniques, evaluation of choices and values, and other spiritual and physical coping techniques to build stress and anxiety tolerance, which fosters increased well-being and acceptance of uncertainty and lack of control.

Anxiety and stress can be so difficult to manage and seem to come out of nowhere. When we dig in, we will work to learn the core of the distress that you are experiencing. As we learn your life story, we may find that some of the distress is rooted in early childhood trauma and attachment wounding. We'll embrace all parts that make you "you" and learn about the challenging messages you may have grown up with that manifested into the distress you feel today. Anxiety and stress can be a messenger, an alarm telling you that it is time to heal experiences from earlier in life. In our work together, we'll use EMDR, Emotion Focused Therapy and Expressive Arts to help you heal!

We all go through tough moments in our life where we experience anxiety and stress, but when it affects us to the point where our lives are unmanageable ,we seek help.

Anxiety is a state of mental tension and physical symptoms that can exhaust us. It is our body’s response to our perception of a threat. This includes phobias, worry and panic attacks. Many times our anxiety is triggered by a recent event that is connected to a painful event from our past. We can’t change our past. However, we can change how the past is affecting us today. With every hurtful event comes emotional pain and a negative belief about you. In psychotherapy with me, that event can be processed in a way that removes the pain and replaces the negative belief with a positive belief of your choosing. This can reduce and eliminate the symptoms of Anxiety and Stress. See emdr.com

Anxiety can affect your life in so many ways. Anxiety can keep you from reaching out for that relationship, or attempting for a better job. Anxiety can be healthy, but when you have too much it reduces your life. I really understand anxiety and stress, and can give you the tools and self-esteem to roam freely though this world, being all that you were meant to be. Let's do this!

I focus on CBT and Behavioral interventions. Anxiety is a vicious cycle of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors maintaining and creating symptoms. These symptoms are not all 'in your head.' Many anxiety symptoms are physical (heart rate changes, breathing, headaches, sleep disturbance). I guide clients to overcome the thoughts and behaviors creating and maintaining their personal cycle of anxiety.

When we are struggling emotionally, we know that it impacts our day to day functioning. What starts with fear often leads to worry. Worry leads to anxiety and anxiety can lead to stress. What starts out as some degree of fear only grows in intensity until we are experiencing the physical symptoms of stress in our body; headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, muscle tension, tight jaw, griffin teeth, TMJ, lower back pain and more. In therapy, we process these distressful feelings and explore what healthy rhythms might facilitate the change we desire.
